I carved Mary
from a block of limestone that weighed 41.5
pounds. It was among several stones that were
given to me by a kind neighbour who visited my Open
Studio in 2016. I do not know what type of
limestone it is, only that it is coarse-grained and
contains a large number small
fossils and shells.

Maryweighs about 27.6 pounds,
and measures 12.5 inches
high, 7 inches across at
the widest point and
8 inches deep front to back.
